Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a liquid crystal display (LCD), and more particularly to an LCD comprising a biaxial compensation film.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Owing to their low-profile, thin, and lightweight features, LCDs have become the mainstream display devices in recent years. Liquid crystal screens are widely used in electronic devices such as cellphones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), digital cameras, computers, notebooks, etc.

An LCD comprises an LC cell. An alignment of LC molecules in the LC cell is determined by variation of an electric field applied on the LC cell, and the transmission of light in the LC cell is adjusted accordingly. An LC material has a property of birefringence, which means that the refractive index of light in the direction of the long axis of the molecules is different from the refractive index of light in the direction of the short axis of the molecules. Therefore, linearly polarized incident light has diverse phases through different paths in the LC cell in the polarized direction. The feature of color and the transmission of light at a slant viewing angle are different from those at a front viewing angle.

Birefringence index of the LC molecules in the LC cell varies with an observation inclination. With the observation inclination increases, both of the contrast ratio of an image and image resolution decrease. To enhance the contrast ratio of the image obviously at a specific viewing angle and to reduce leakage of light in dark state on the LCD, a compensator film is attached to the LC panel of a conventional LCD. The birefringence of the LC molecules can be symmetrically compensated because the retardation value of light in different directions is compensated using the compensator film.

A bi-layered compensator film has advantages of reducing leakage of light in dark state on the LCD effectively and enhancing the contrast ratio and resolution at a wide viewing angle. However, the bi-layered compensator film is expensive, so production cost cannot be reduced. Contrarily, production cost can be effectively reduced using a unilayered compensator film while an increase in leakage of light in dark state of the LCD seems inevitable.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to provide an LCD comprising a unilayered compensator film. A retardation value of a triacetate cellulose film (TAC) film can be adjusted by adjusting thickness of the TAC film or the refractive index of the TAC film. In addition, leakage of light in dark state of the LCD where the unilayered compensator film is used can be prevented.

According to the present invention, a liquid crystal display (LCD), comprising a backlight source for generating light; a first triacetate cellulose (TAC) film; a first polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film; a first phase compensator film, for providing a first retardation value and a second retardation value by adjusting thickness of the first phase compensator film and by adjusting a first refractive index, a second refractive index, and a third refractive index corresponding to the light in a first direction, the light in a second direction, and the light in a third direction, respectively; a liquid crystal (LC) cell; a second phase compensator film, for providing a third retardation value by adjusting thickness of the second phase compensator film and by adjusting a fourth refractive index, a fifth refractive index, and a sixth refractive index corresponding to the light in the first direction, the light in the second direction, and the light in the third direction, respectively; a second PVA film; and a third TAC film. The black-state light leakage at a wide viewing angle is controlled according to the first retardation value, the second retardation value, and the third retardation value in the LCD.

In one aspect of the present invention, a phase delay of the LC cell determined by (ne−no)×d is between 342.8 nm and 361.4 nm, where ne indicates an extraordinary refractive index, no indicates an ordinary refractive index, and d indicates thickness of the LC cell.

In another aspect of the present invention, the first retardation value is determined by the first refractive index, the second refractive index, and thickness of the first phase compensator film.

In another aspect of the present invention, the first retardation value of the first phase compensator film is between 45.6 nm and 85.8 nm.

In another aspect of the present invention, the second retardation value is determined by the first refractive index, the second refractive index, the third refractive index, and thickness of the first phase compensator film.

In another aspect of the present invention, the second retardation value is between 152 nm and 286 nm.

In another aspect of the present invention, a pretilt angle of LC molecules in the LC cell is between 85 and 90 angles while 90 degrees are excluded.

In another aspect of the present invention, the third retardation value is determined by the fourth refractive index, the fifth refractive index, the sixth refractive index, and thickness of the second phase compensator film.

In another aspect of the present invention, the third retardation value is between Y1 nm and Y2 nm where Y1=0.0052854x2−3.15264x+502.64 and Y2=−0.0064882x2+1.85x+57.78 stand, and x indicates the second retardation value.

In another aspect of the present invention, the first phase compensator film is a biaxial compensation film, and the second phase compensator film is a second TAC film.

In another aspect of the present invention, the LCD further comprises a third phase compensator film, the first phase compensator film is attached to the second phase compensator film, the first phase compensator film is a biaxial compensation film, the second phase compensator film is a second TAC film, and the third phase compensator film is a fourth TAC film.

In another aspect of the present invention, the third phase compensator film is used for providing a fourth retardation value by adjusting thickness of the third phase compensator film and by adjusting a seventh refractive index, an eighth refractive index, and a ninth refractive index corresponding to the light in the first direction, the light in the second direction, and the light in the third direction, respectively, where leakage of light is controlled according to the first retardation value, the second retardation value, the third retardation value, and the fourth retardation value in the LCD.

Contrast to the conventional technology, the LCD where a single biaxial compensation film is used is provided in the present invention. When a phase delay of the LC cell is between 342.8 nm and 361.4 nm (the phase delay corresponding to a wavelength of 550 nm) and a pretilt angle of LC molecules in the LC cell is between 85 and 90 angles (but 90 degrees are excluded), a first retardation value Rob of a first phase compensator film is controlled between 45.6 nm and 85.8 nm, a second retardation value Rthb of the first phase compensator film is controlled between 152 nm and 286 nm, and a third retardation value of a second phase compensator film is controlled between Y1 nm and Y2 nm where Y1=0.0052854x2−3.15264x+502.64 and Y2=−0.0064882x2+1.85x+57.78 stand, and x indicates the second retardation value. The maximum black-state light leakage on the LCD in the present invention is smaller than the maximum black-state light leakage on the conventional LCD where the single biaxial compensation film is used. Moreover, the contrast ratio and resolution of a wide viewing angle (not a horizontal or vertical azimuth) of the LCD in the present invention are effectively enhanced.

These and other objectives of the claimed invention will no doubt become obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art after reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiment that is illustrated in the various figures and drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an LCD 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The LCD 10 comprises an LC cell 16, a first polarizer 12, a second polarizer 14, and a backlight source 18. The backlight source 18 is used for generating light. The LC cell 16 is glued to the first polarizer 12 and to the second polarizer 14 which faces the first polarizer 12 with a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) 2. The first polarizer 12 and the second polarizer 14 are used for deflecting incident light. A first optical axis of the first polarizer 12 is perpendicular to a second optical axis of the second polarizer 14.

The first polarizer 12 comprises a first polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film 121, a first triacetate cellulose (TAC) film 122, and a first phase compensator film 123. The PVA film 121 is inserted between the first TAC film 122 and the first phase compensator film 123. The second polarizer 14 comprises a second PVA film 141, a second phase compensator film 142, and a third TAC film 143. The second PVA film 141 is inserted between the second phase compensator film 142 and the third TAC film 143. In this embodiment, the first phase compensator film 123 is a biaxial compensation film. The second phase compensator film 142 is a second TAC film. The first phase compensator film 123 is used for providing a first retardation value and a second retardation value. The second phase compensator film 142 is used for providing a third retardation value. The slow axis of the first phase compensator film 123 forms a 90 degree angle with the absorption axis of the first PVA film 121. The slow axis of the second phase compensator film 142 forms a 90 degree angle with the absorption axis of the second PVA film 141. The method of determination of the first retardation value, the second retardation value, and the third retardation value will be detailed in the following description. The phase delay of the LC cell 16, the retardation value of the TAC film, and the retardation value of the biaxial compensation film all are values corresponding to a wavelength of 550 nm in the following embodiments.

Refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 showing diagrams of the relation of the third retardation value RthT of the second TAC film and the value of leakage of light when the LC molecules are at difference pretilt angles and the first retardation value Rob and the second retardation value Rthb of difference biaxial compensation films provided that the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 342.8 nm and 361.4 nm (the phase delay corresponding to a wavelength of 550 nm). In the present invention, the incident light generated by the backlight source 18 belongs to Lambertian distribution. Luminance in the center of the incident light is defined as 100 nit. The pretilt angle of the LC molecules in the LC cell 16 is between 85 and 90 angles (but 90 degrees are excluded). The phase delay of the LC cell 16 is determined by (ne−no)×d. The phase delay of the LC cell 16 is between 342.8 nm and 361.4 nm where ne indicates an extraordinary refractive index of the LC cell 16, no indicates an ordinary refractive index of the LC cell 16, and d indicates thickness of the LC cell 16.

In FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, Rob indicates the first retardation value of the first phase compensator film 123 in the X-Y plane. Rthb indicates the second retardation value of the first phase compensator film 123 in the axial (Z) direction. RthT indicates the third retardation value of the second phase compensator film 142 in the axial (Z) direction. Rob, Rthb, and RthT are determined by values plugged into the following equations:


Rob=(Nxb−NybDb;


Rthb=[(Nxb+Nyb)/2−Nzb]×Db;


RthT=[(NxT+NyT)/2−NzT]×DT;

where Nxb, Nyb, and Nzb indicate refractive indexes of the light generated by the backlight source 18 corresponding to the X-, and Z-axes of three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, respectively, when the light passes through the first phase compensator film 123. NxT, NyT, and NzT indicate refractive indexes of the light generated by the backlight source 18 corresponding to the X-, Y-, and Z-axes of three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates, respectively, when the light passes through the second phase compensator film 142. Db and DT indicate thickness of the first phase compensator film 123 and thickness of the second phase compensator film 142, respectively.

Line segments A1 and A2 as shown in FIG. 2, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 342.8 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 85 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(72 nm, 240 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(72 nm, 240 nm) stands where Rob indicates the first retardation value of the first phase compensator film 123, and Rthb indicates the second retardation value of the first phase compensator film 123. Line segments A3 and A4 as shown in FIG. 2, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 342.8 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 85 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(48 nm, 160 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(60 nm, 200 nm) stands.

Line segments A5, A6, A9, and A10 as shown in FIG. 2, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 342.8 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 87 and 89 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(84 nm, 280 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(72 nm, 240 nm) stands. Line segments A7, A8, A11, and A12 as shown in FIG. 2, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 342.8 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 87 and 89 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(48 nm, 160 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(60 nm, 200 nm) stands. Preferably, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 will be smaller when the third retardation value RthT between 106.2 nm and 129.8 nm is taken into considerations.

Line segments C1, C2, C5, C6, C9, and C10 as shown in FIG. 3, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 361.4 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 85, 87 and 89 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(84 nm, 280 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(72 nm, 240 nm) stands. Line segments C3, C4, C7, C8, C11, and C12 as shown in FIG. 3, when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is 361.4 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules is 85, 87 and 89 degrees, the value of leakage of light of the LCD 10 is smaller than (Rob, Rthb)=(48 nm, 160 nm), provided that (Rob, Rthb)=(60 nm, 200 nm) stands.

Even though the first retardation value Rob is between 48 nm and 84 nm and the second retardation value Rthb is between 160 nm and 280 nm as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the first retardation value Rob and the second retardation value Rthb can be slightly adjusted. In other words, the first retardation value Rob is between 45.6 nm and 85.8 nm, and the second retardation value Rthb is between 152 nm and 286 nm if the minimal amount of light that leaks through the display in the dark state is 0.2 nit. To ensure that the minimal amount of light that leaks through the display in the dark state is less than 0.2 nit when the first retardation value Rob is between 45.6 nm and 85.8 nm, and the second retardation value Rthb is between 152 nm and 286 nm, the third retardation value RthT is between the Y1 nm and Y2 nm where Y1=0.0052854x2−3.15264x+502.64 and Y2=−0.0064882x2+1.85x+57.78 stand, and x indicates the second retardation value Rthb.

Provided that the phase delay of the LC cell is 352.1 nm, the first retardation value Ro of the biaxial compensation film is 72 nm, the second retardation value Rth of the biaxial compensation film is 240 nm, and the third retardation value Rth of the second TAC film is 240 nm in the conventional LCD where the single biaxial compensation film is used, leakage of light in dark state occurs at φ=20°-40°, φ=140°-160°, φ=200°-220°, and φ=310°-330° where φ indicates an angle formed by the X axis and a projection of the axis of the LC molecules in the X-Y plane. However, an experiment proves that light leakage can still be prevented in the LCD 10 where the single first phase compensator film 123 according to the first retardation value Rob, the second retardation value Rthb, and the third retardation value RthT when the phase delay of the LC cell 16 is between 342.8 nm and 361.4 nm and the pretilt angle of the LC molecules in the LC cell 16 is between 85 and 90 angles (but 90 degrees are excluded). In other words, the first retardation value Rob is controlled between 45.6 nm and 85.8 nm, and the second retardation value Rthb is controlled between 152 nm and 286 nm. Meanwhile, the third retardation value RthT of the second phase compensator film 142 is adjusted according to the adjusted second retardation value Rthb. In this way, the third retardation value RthT can be between Y1 nm and Y2 nm where Y1=0.0052854x2−3.15264x+502.64 and Y2=−0.0064882x2+1.85x+57.78 stand, and x indicates the second retardation value Rthb. The value of black-state light leakage on the LCD 10 is smaller than the value of black-state light leakage on the conventional LCD where the single biaxial compensation film is used.
